Our osprey chicks have been very active over the past couple of weeks.

PH1 and PH2 have both been seen practicing their fishing. Although they are not yet catching fish for themselves, they are certainly warming to the idea. They have been seen chasing each other around the loch, which has been a joy to watch, and a farmiliar game for those of us with siblings. They can still be seen returning to the nest to feed along with their mother (LF15), a bit crowded now they’re growing up!

It has been a fairly quiet week on the Dyfi. The chicks are all doing really well; flying around and perching by the river during the day, but returning to the safety of the nest area over night. Both parents are still bringing a ready supply of fish, so we can rest assured that Aeron, Menai and Eitha are all getting plenty each.
